Longing and God's Presence
- After mystical awakenings, a sense of sadness or longing can arise as the experience fades.
- This longing itself is a sign of God's presence, guiding us toward deeper connection.
Descending the Ladder
- When the mystical state fades, gently return to the earlier stages of spiritual practice (lectio divina, meditation, prayer).
- Rest in these practices, allowing them to nurture your growth, even if you feel farther from God.
Mystical Union and Daily Practice
- The mystical state isn't separate from daily practice but a culmination of it.
- Devotional sincerity in lectio divina, meditation, and prayer can unexpectedly ignite into mystical union.
